LocalServ.Pro — Irrigation Hiring Checklist
Prepared October 17, 2026
Planning aid; verify current project requirements. No request is sent.

An irrigation service should explain where water goes and why each area needs it. Map the lawn, beds, slopes, and shaded areas, and note leaks or overspray. Ask whether the problem is damaged equipment, pressure, scheduling, or a design that groups incompatible planting needs together.

DISCUSS WITH THE PROVIDER
Which plants and sun exposures share each zone?
How will the system respect local watering restrictions?
Who documents the layout and teaches me to operate the controller?
